Without belittling that with these citations: kind of service, we rejoice to honor what you have done in ERWIN HOGE WILL, Chairman of the Board quietly moving among us to meet the needs of individuals of the Virginia Electric & Power Company, Richmond, Va., and community. To enumerate your deeds is not possible, for DOCTOR OF SCIENCE: “This morning your words have even your closest friends do not know them all. But where the enlightened us.

With equal effectiveness and devotion you have distinguished yourself for service to the Church, to the community, and to education. Time prohibits an enumeration of all that you have done; but we would be remiss if we failed to note your service as chairman of the boards of two fine educational institutions in Virginia, Sweet Briar College and the Medical College of Virginia. The highest praise I can give is to quote the words of President R. Blackwell Smith, Jr., of the Medical College of Virginia, when he describes you as ‘one of Virginia’s most distinguished advocates for higher education and one of our most beloved board members.’” Mr. Edwin Hoge Will in his address to the Hampden-Sydney graduates said: “Great changes have taken place in our country since 1776 when Hampden-Sydney opened its doors. No country has been able to match our overall progress. There is no need for additional statistics as we all realize that even our lowest income group is better off than the average of all the other peoples of the world. We have every reason to reflect with pride on our material accomplishments, but have we made a similar record in the area of moral, spiritual, and humanitarian progress? This is the challenge for your generation. “Mere numbers have never been an object of Hampden-Sydney; rather, major emphasis has been on character and academic standing. You now have a basic education that will be invaluable in your future training in whatever profession you undertake.” Mr. Will stressed to the students that their education should not be terminated at the beginning of one’s life work, but actively continued throughout life as a necessary asset in meeting the rapidly changing times and developments. “You will find, as others have, that in many lines of business it is not so much what you know, but rather how you apply what you know and what results you are able to produce. What will enable you to receive a higher degree of success? The initiative, the determination, and the extra ten percent that you should devote to thinking, planning, and effort.” In closing, Mr. Will reminded the seniors: “So live your life in such a way that you help to pass on to your children and others a better and freer world by leading a Christian life and by doing those things you know to be right.

Perhaps the major hurdle was deciding whether Cushing’s First and Fourth Passages the showers were located to pursue the BA or BS degree.

The Fourth Floor was not good for sleep or study, Physics. For the BA degree only two of the three were needed. but was great for making friends. Amenities — who needed To avoid very difficult H-SC classes, summer school was an amenities at Hampden-Sydney?? I used to say that all I took attractive option. Many of us took Chemistry at Madison, to Hampden-Sydney was a foot locker and a toothbrush — thereby avoiding Dr. Miller, and some of us took Biology at perhaps an exaggeration, but if you add in a cake of soap and a the University of Richmond in avoidance of Mr. Overcash. towel, you have what sustained most of us. And television — I I took Biology at Richmond in the summer of 1962 and do not remember anyone with a TV in their room.

His response was “It’s OK, So the science problem was solvable with careful but they haven’t hooked up the Cable TV.” selection of classes, professors, and venues. Another problem What about imagination? Well, in austere conditions, for some of us was Algebra — another necessary evil for Imagination is a great aid to survival. And H-SC abounded in graduation. The solution here was offered by Dr. Elliot, who imaginative young men. As a freshman I remember observing returned from a stroke and taught Algebra our Senior year. a foursome drinking coffee in the Venable commons. Included Most of us who needed the class passed. Throughout our stay in the group were Charlie Sears, Charlie Hubbard, Tom at H-SC we were fortunate in having professors who would Andrews, and Don Swift.

Bridge Philosophy was also a requirement for the BA degree and Poker were always available at H-SC and my feeling is and many of us were in Dr. Allan’s class. I was thoroughly that the great majority of good card players at H-SC have done confused most of the time, but have one memory worth well in life. The good card players did not all pursue good relating. The story may or may not be true (I think it is), but grades, but the mental agility acquired and required in Bridge an H-SC contemporary of ours, not in the Class of 1964, was and Poker served them well over the years. When I arrived at reputed to come to class, wait while Dr. Allan checked him on H-SC, upperclassmen Charles Sears and Art Matney invited the roll, then casually jump out the window at the back of the Freshmen into the Poker Game.

We succeeded because we did not view our living conditions as austere, and we used our imaginations. And, lastly, some of us knew what to do with a Deck of Cards!

Undergraduate Degree: BS—Modern European History

Currently: Retired

H-SC Value: 1. Though it only became apparent over time (that is more than a “catchphrase”) the extraordinary benefits of a liberal arts education. 2. Focus on basics of English, history & literature of different countries, opportunity to be highly flexible in focus of studies (e.g. my B.S. in Modern European History and lacking only one other course for a minor in Religion). 3. How especially unique it was to live in a culture where we could trust one another not to “lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who did.”

Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: Like most of us my fondest memories are of fellow students in all class levels. With only slightly over 400 total in ’60–’64 while I was on campus, it was possible to know (at least by name) a significant portion.

H-SC Value: H-SC taught me how to get along with all types of personalties in people.

Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: So many memories from the CIR to Three-and-a-half. One of the things that I remember is the bell that started and ended each class. It was rung by hand. If you were running late to class the bell ringer would see you hurrying toward Morton Hall and continue to ring the bell an extra long time to be sure you could be in class (and not tardy) before the bell stopped. On one occasion a student beside me in Dr. Graves Thompson’s Latin Class was asked to translate in class. Using a translation that we students referred to as a pony, he used the word “thrice” in his translation. Dr. Thompson asked him what “thrice” meant. Unable to define thrice, the student was urged by Dr. Thompson to “Ride on.” The class exploded in laughter.

24 Pacific and one of my favorite places was the island of Tonga. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: During the months of January Tonga was the last territory to be released from British control. and February when I was at H-SC not much went on socially The people there are known as the friendly people. I stayed during this time of the year. Unlike the fall of the year there at the International Dateline Hotel. This island is close to the was no Homecoming, Football Games or Parents Weekends international dateline and you could be walking on the beach so my fraternity — Lambda Chi Alpha — would have a on a given day and look out at the ocean and be looking at record party on Saturday nights — we would get our dates the next day. The hotel had a flat roof and on the top of the from Longwood, bring them out to the house — and then roof there must have been 10 flag poles spread apart about 12 return them to Longwood at the proper time. This got to be a feet. When I arrived at the hotel I didn’t notice until after I routine, such that somebody — not me — suggested that we checked in that the only flag flying was the American Flag play ‘PIG NIGHT’. We were to go to Longwood and get the and was being flown in my honor. I was the only guest at the ugliest girls we could find and bring them out to the house. hotel therefore there were no other flags flying. Two days later We would not embarrass the girls in front of them and after a couple from Australia checked in and the Australian flag was returning them to Longwood come back to the house and see flying beside Old glory. When I checked out the cab driver who won. had me look out the window at the hotel and I noticed the flag Well we learned that you can’t judge a book by the was being lowered that was flown in my honor. I will never cover. We all admitted we had a good time and there was this forget it and said to the cab driver “they will never believe this guilty feeling. We really had a nice time. All we had to do was back in the states.” Oh I forgot to mention 50 years prior to keep what we did a secret. There was nothing confidential then my visit these people inTonga were cannibalistic. Fortunately as there is nothing confidential today. Somebody spilled the I did not end out in some huge pot with potatoes floating next beans and the word got back to Longwood and we were black to my ears. balled for several weeks. Two months I think. I do remember I made a trip to Jamaica and stayed on the opposite one of the brothers going to Longwood and picking up his side from Kingston. There was no major airport. I was date at South Cunningham and he got drenched with water scheduled to leave on a certain day and was told that day was balloons on his way up the steps to the entrance. a national holiday and the small airport near by was closed. Not all of the brothers took part. Some left campus However one plane would stop over at a certain time and I for the weekend but the ones who stayed probably wished they was to walk out on the runway and flag the plane down as had gone after the beating we took at Longwood. he flew over or otherwise the pilot may not land. There was no one at the airport when I got there and I did what I was told. Talking about feeling awkward and alone. As I said the airport was closed and I stood out on the runway alone. Being early morning there was nobody working and again it was a national holiday. So I sat down on my suit case and waited about 20 minutes out on the runway. The pilot did land and there were two people in the back seat and the pilot and myself in the front. Once airborne the pilot asked me to hold on to the steering wheel (I guess you call it that) while he worked on his radio. He added don’t move the wheel in any direction and if we hit a rough draft he would take over. Just don’t move the wheel. I guess I flew that plane for several minutes and made the mistake of leaning over to look out the windows causing the steering wheel to move forward which caused the plane to take a little dive. The pilot took the wheel and I did hear softly from him a few choice words. My flying experience was over. I have been fortunate over the last 50 years. I have seen many parts of the world and there have been many places I have not seen. I learned we live in the greatest country in the world. Poverty — we have no poverty in this country compared to many places. Our poor people live like kings compared to many people in the world.

Playing on basketball team for 3 years. • Third Presbyterian Church: Usher, CUSHING INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY • 55ers Golf Group In the spring of 1962, some of the first passage lads of • Blazers Golf Group Cushing Dormitory had a new idea for entertainment.

26 With a bit of preliminary planning, a date was set to have car races around the oval parking lot and driveway in front of Cushing. The cars would start at the fork of the driveway leading to the dormitory and finish at the fork. All cars that were parked in front of Cushing had to be moved to another location. The first year’s race had about seven or eight contestants who raced the oval one at a time. Fontaine Lawson was the flag man who was assisted by a clock man to determine the winner. It was quite exciting watching the contestants speed around the oval. The first year’s race was so successful that we followed it with another race a year later. As the picture notes, Fontaine the Flag Man was waving Fearless Freddie Reed to a run. The absolute highlight, however, was when George Macon entered the race in his blue two door Nash Rambler. His co-pilot was Skipper Beck. George peeled out from the start line racing past Cushing and entering the hairpin turn at the end of the parking lot. Wanting to break the C.I.R. record, George went firing into the turn! So fast was the Rambler going that it flipped over and came to a rest upside down! The crowd was speechless and fearing the worst! Before the spectators could arrive at the scene, George and Skipper climbed out and waved to the crowd. That was quite a finish to the second annual C.I.R. At the end of my sophomore year (1962). I got a crazy idea to peroxide my hair. I did this after exams while awaiting my mother’s arrival to pick me up for a VA Beach vacation. When she pulled up to Cushing, I leaned out of the window and waved. I thought she was going to crash the car! From a normal light brown to a bright yellow, I must have looked really weird! My Mother, of course, was shocked and quite upset. When we arrived in Richmond, she took me to a Thalheimer’s beauty salon to rectify the situation. Having one of those hairdryer contraptions over my head was humiliating! It worked, however, until the next day. After jumping into the ocean, the salt and sunshine brought out another color! It took a month and a half to get back to normal!! I played basketball my first three years. I did not start or play that much, as I was not one of the stars. I do remember getting into a game late against Fort Lee in their Invitational Tournament. I had to guard none other than Lenny Wilkins who later played in the Pro’s and ultimately coached a Pro team! He was quick as a cat and left me behind! That was quite an experience.

I came back and told my three friends that the guys from William and Mary that were going

39 to drive us, were not able to go. We looked around and realized that we were the last people on campus. One of my friends said the trip is over and he is going home. I said wait a minute, all we need is a car. I was reminded that everyone had left. I knew the guys in the kitchen had not gone. I went over and asked the few remaining if anyone had a car I could borrow for a few days. Jimmy said he had a car that was very old next to a very old house. I asked Jimmy to sign on a scrap of paper that I had permission to drive his car. He said he could not write. My reply was that an x would be sufficient. We were elated to have “wheels”, until we saw the car. It was awful, with a trunk that would not shut and stuck in 6 inches of mud, and no battery. We found a battery and told the dozen children who had gathered around, to step back as we prepared to start the car. The engine roared, and from the rear of the car came a plume of blue smoke that engulfed every one, to the delight of all the children. We proceeded to the junk yard to get six out of date license tags that we hooked onto the trunk with a coat hanger. Their were some issues with the car. The tires were bald, we replaced eight tires that went flat, with used tires we found behind gas stations. It burnt a lot of oil. We put 32 quarts of used oil in the car. The fact that a sharp push on the gas caused the back seat area to fill up with blue smoke was very helpful in my effort to control those recalcitrant passengers who had been over served. When we rolled into Daytona it was early evening and our headlights did not work. The police pulled us over and asked to see the registration. I gave him the scrap of paper with the x. He did not look too pleased after seeing this, and less so when he looked in the trunk and noticed six way out-of-date license plates from six different states. The officer said we were to follow him to the station. As the police started to enter the parking lot, their battery died. We all jumped out and pushed their car into the lot. Both officers were very happy and said that we did not have to come into the station, but they insisted that we get our car off of the street. One of our fraternity brothers asked me if he could get a ride back in our car. I said better than that, why don’t you drive it back—and he did. I found another ride with someone driving a Volkswagon and had a very long nap in the back seat.

If one student did not know the answer, he would go to the next, and then to the next, until someone knew the answer. Every time he asked a certain student he would not be able to answer, shake his head and say, “I have it in my notebook.” Finally, after about six times answering “I’ve got it in my notebook,” the professor replied: “One day you are going before the Judgment Bar and you will be asked: “Why should I let you into my heaven?” Your are going to answer, “I’ve got it in my notebook!” And, that answer will not be good enough.”
